DATE RECOVERY
Data recovery is the process of salvaging data
from damaged, failed, corrupted, or
inaccessible secondary storage media when it
cannot be accessed normally. Often the data are
being salvaged from storage media such as
hard disk drives, storage tapes, CDs, DVDs,
RAID, and other electronics. Recovery may be
required due to physical damage to the storage
device or logical damage to the file system that
prevents it from being mounted by the host
operating system.
The most common "data recovery" scenario
involves an operating system (OS) failure
(typically on a single-disk, single-partition,
single-OS system), in which case the goal is
simply to copy all wanted files to another disk.
This can be easily accomplished with a Live CD,
most of which provide a means to mount the
system drive and backup disks or removable
media, and to move the files from the system
disk to the backup media with a file manager or
optical disc authoring software. Such cases can
often be mitigated by disk partitioning and
consistently storing valuable data files (or
copies of them) on a different partition from the
replaceable OS system files
